How Big Will The Jackpot Be?
The jackpot for the Superdraw will be a guaranteed €130 million (approximately £110 million/ CHF 125 million). It will be bumped up to this amount regardless of the value of the jackpot in the preceding draw, even if it has only just been won.
Superdraws create some of EuroMillions’ largest prizes, as it does not take a run of rollovers to build up a nine-figure sum. Instead, the money comes from the Reserve Fund, which receives a percentage of the prize fund from every regular draw.
If there’s no winner on the night of a Superdraw, the jackpot just keeps rolling as normal. This is what happened in the most recent one on 7th June, when two and a half more weeks passed by before a Portuguese ticket holder won a huge €213 million.
The jackpot can reach a maximum of €250 million (around £213 million) before it has to be capped, and it may not take long to get up to its limit if the Superdraw fails to produce a winner. Go to the Jackpot Cap page for more information.
Superdraw Strategy
Apart from the big jackpot, Superdraws work just like any other draw. There’s no extra cost and the odds of winning are the same as usual. They get confirmed a few weeks in advance, so you can plan a strategy for how to play and try to win.
It might be that you target Superdraws as the occasions when you play multiple lines. This boosts your chances of success considerably.
You can also decide how to choose your numbers, whether you stick to your usual line, use the Number Generator to get a random set or perhaps analyse the latest statistics to see the most recent trends.
Most importantly, make sure you don’t miss out on taking part, as you can only win if you get involved. You can buy EuroMillions tickets in-store in nine participating countries, or choose numbers online.
